Very good performance from England last night, with a weakened team.

I thought Curtis Jones had a very good game and so too, Guehl and Bellingham, particularly. Pickford was at his best too

Gordon and Madueke both looked threatening and I thought Hall, when he came on, looked like he had been playing for England for years. Definitely one for the future.

Certainly highlighted that if Carsley hadn’t played silly buggers at Wembley we’d be on 100%

I’ve been very impressed with Hall this season and last night he looked so comfortable when he came on.

Could be the long term solution to that troubled left back position.

Was just googling him and randomly he went to the same private school as Simon Cowell.

Tbh I don't see that lineup as weakened in any significant way.

I see what you mean, player for player it looks weaker but as a team it looks better (if that makes sense)?

I get what you're saying as a unit, but there's no way a team/squad missing Trent, Stones, Rice, Foden, Palmer, Grealish etc could be considered stronger.

Dunno what Atletico have done with Connor Gallagher but thought he looked twice the player he has ever looked last night

Yup. It was much more balanced wasn't it, instead of having to try and shoe-in the bigger stars like Foden and Kane etc.

The one player I don't rate (he wasn't too bad at all last night to be honest) is Gallagher. But I can see why we need that sort of player in that side.

I get you, my point was that a team isn't necessarily a collection of the best players.

Think more English players need to play abroad IMO.

Tonight's line-up.

I think I would have stuck with Watkins to be honest, but that should still be enough to see off the Republic of Ireland.

Glad Hall is in. He looked really assured on Thursday

Not that we are spoilt for choice in the current squad, but I’m really not convinced by Madueke at all.

Happily have a few Irish players crocked - a lot of them play in the Championship

Ireland's keeper already taking ages with goal kicks, and all slow throw ins by their players.

I like Gordon but I find sometimes he slows us down too much by holding on too long

Sensational lack of movement. Bit like watching Cov this season, happy to just rotate the ball round midfield.

Why is the right back / wing back for England so narrow?

Whether we do or not, he's the only one who has gone past a man. Ebosele has Gordon's measure. I'd take Kane off based on this half. Bellingham looks like he's sulking, the Irish are pumped up at p8ssing England off.

Very poor half.

I agree with Fernando and I think Kane's international days are numbered.

I think I would mainly have him as an option from the bench.

He disrupts our shape and he's definitely slowed down a bit too.

Cheating tw*t Molumby - always been a niggly sh&te. They have ruffled us though, and I'd definitely take Kane off, but I don't think Carsley has the balls for that.

Pathetic from Molumby. Picked up like a toddler by Walker. Not exactly the "fighting Irish" is he?
